IIS: how to undeploy/delete/remove a webapp from command line?

Question

Suppose there\'s a webapp deployed on local IIS server. When I need to remove/undeploy it, I can go to IIS Manager, right-click on the app, and then select \"Delete application

Answer 1

If you just want to remove the application from the Web Site in IIS without physically deleting the files (like msdeploy does) or if you don't have the WebDeploy-extension installed, you can use the following command:

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe delete app "Default Web Site/MyAppName"
